Real Templars
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
Here is some information that is real news to me, provided by Noah and Ryan, in regard to a legimate claiment to the title Militia Templi Christi Pauperum Millitum Ordo, or Knights Templar. And yes, this is very legit, a fact which I was not inclined to accept, until it was proven to me. Mind you, the members of this brotherhood in arms are very clear to disclaim any connection with the historical order, since any such claim, if and when made—as it often is by pretenders—is always false. The knights already have a well established presence in the United States. (more…) |
St. Therese on Self-denial
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Ave Maria Mediations
One more point, so that we may have a perfectly clear idea of Saint Therese’s self-denial. Generally speaking we have a too material, too external idea of self-denial; we almost always picture self-denial under the form of privation, as the sacrifice of something material, or again as some external mortification. And so we tire ourselves out looking for something to give up instead of denying ourselves always and in everything. Self-denial is primarily and often solely something interior and spiritual; it is in no way synonymous with mortification, with privation. Even when there is no mortification, there ought always to be self-denial. Self-denial is simply the disposition of the soul to live for self in nothing, a sincere and constant disposition, a fixed determination to turn the soul from its natural tendency to make self the centre of its life, a fixed determination not to think of self, to put self on one side.

Video – Face of Pro-Life #86: Live Account of the March for Life
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Ave Maria! Fra Roderic Burke, David Smith and Eileen Bianchini give an account of their experience in the March for Life on January 22nd, 2010 with host Corinn Dahm. They cover how large the march was (over 350,000 people) and yet how many people they knew there and how little representation there was from mass media for such a large event that has been an annual institution for the last 35 years. Ave Maria! +++ |
On the Importance of Fasting
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
For nearly two thousand years, Catholics have read, re-read and reflected upon the great passage in the sixth chapter of the gospel of Matthew in which Jesus lays out the three essential practices of Christian life: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Every Ash Wednesday around the globe, in lavishly tiled basilicas, in wood planked chapels, in modest oratories with dirt floors, in carpeted suburban parishes, and in the great multiplicity of sizes, shapes and styles of Catholic houses worship, the Catholic imagination is called to attentive reflection on these prescriptions from Our Lord: When you pray; When you give alms; When you fast.
When Ash Wednesday Mass is finished, the next forty days – all of Lent- is observed in the context of this passage. This happens every year without fail. These three essential practices of Christian life are brought to our attention and emphasized. You would think that we Catholics would get the point. (more…) |

Ave Maria! On January 6th, 2010, the Franciscan Friars in Italy had the privilege of celebrating the Traditional Mass with Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos, President Emeritus of Ecclesia Dei. We hope you enjoy viewing some of the scenes from the Mass and listening to the Creed which was sung during the Mass and directed by Alessandro Pucci and Andrea Ferranti. The name of the chorus (in Italian) is the “Schola Cantorum ‘Santa Cecilia’ di Corridonia e Coro di Cloumurano”. Friar Terrance sends ‘Ave Maria!’s and prayers to all. Ave Maria! +++ |
